Amritsar 1919 by Tony Wagner
A tightly focused account of the events surrounding the brutal April 1919 massacre in Amritsar, placing the killings in the broader context of wartime colonial policy, repressive measures, and rising Indian nationalism; it reconstructs the day’s violence, the actions and attitudes of British officers and officials, the inadequate official inquiries and responses, and the massacre’s profound political and moral consequences for India and the British Empire, showing how the massacre accelerated the push for independence and shaped collective memory.
